Thanks Crazycloud. That’s exactly what worries me, especially with the Thumb.

Hey Warwick owners. Just wondering whether there’s anyone near Colchester who might own a streamer stage 1 or a thumb that might let me have a noodle. Would like to try before I buy.

So I'm interested in buying a Warwick. Either a Thumb or a Streamer SS1. There's one of each currently for sale that look around the right money, reputable sellers etc BUT they're both around a 2 hour drive from me (in different directions). Full disclosure is that I want a Streamer or a thumb based on the usual, super important and logical GAS reasons: they look really cool! They'll make me play and sound like Stuart Zender/Jack Bruce/any other fabulous Warwick endorsee! They sound great on all those YouTube reviews They use only the best tone woods They produce that legendary Warwick growl (whatever that is!) I don't have one Did I mention they look really cool! What I've never actually done of course is play either! I did have a 5 string Corvette, but these are different beasts. Now I don't fancy driving 2 hours X 4 to find I don't actually like em, so I'm wondering whether there's anyone in my locality (Colchester and surrounding) who has either of these who would be happy for a fellow basschatter to have a noodle on it to find out if he really does want to part with a load of cash for either of aforesaid basses. And then it occurred to me that this could be something that Basschatters might be happy to offer generally. I know that I would be ok with the occasional visit to try my gear.

Although some say it’s Hercules by Aaron Neville. Cracking bassline!

I’m also near Ipswich if you need it.

I’m guessing you already know you can activate the tuner by pressing "Action" and "Page >" buttons together?

Thanks for the heads up!

Agreed but when I try and do what you’re doing, but with a Stomp, they cut out after a few minutes. It’s like they don’t think anything is going on and go into sleep mode. Presumably that’s doesn’t happen with the ME-90B?

The seller also has another stingray and a jazz for sale. As per his description I messaged with an enquiry and was told it had sold. it’s still listed so not sure what the point is here. I guess it’s some sort of scam but wonder how it works.

Looks like Peach have one in stock again as I write this. Even if it goes, it’s worth getting in touch with them to see when they expect more. The price is very competitive!

Bought this new in 1988. A friend at work was being wooed by a bloke who had a music shop and she suggested that if he did a deal for a friend of hers she might just see him again. Think I paid £515 against the RRP of £795. Can’t see myself ever parting with it
